Ending Predictions

When you think of Vinland Saga you might seem to wonder how long is the story going to last? Truly it is a manga that you can never be too sure. Do you think the ending will come in a long time? Both story and real life wise. What are your predictions on how all of it is going to tie in together? Do you like for it to last a little longer? Discuss and predict some awesome endings for the wonderful Manga.

Re: Ending Predictions

Considering the prologue was 54 chapters long...It's going to go on for a while. Since there was a real life "Vinland Saga" it's probably going
to end like that did and the manga hints towards that happening. It's gonna be pretty epic. Also if Canute follows his real life counterpart
he's going to be serious business. Well he already is but he's going to be MAJOR serious business.
I'm hoping it all follows the real life story as close as possible. Of course there will be some artistic liberties but that's fine.

Re: Ending Predictions

Actually this might be pretty easy to guess. It's called Vinland Saga. In the beginning Leif was talking about a trip of his to the Vinland. Of what I understand it's about the North America. So I imagine that there will be a number of chapters here in Europe and then the manga will end with either Thorfinn and some friends leaving for Vinland. And -- it is little chance -- the action will continue in North America, with American Indians as opponents.

Re: Ending Predictions

It'll last at the very least a good five more years (provided popularity remains intact of course) in my opinion. I think it'll follow history to a certain point and take liberties telling Canute and Thorfinn's stories, probably having them come into contact (fangasm!!!!) with each other.

Personally I can kinda see the last scene of the manga being as they reach the shores of "Vinland", not showing them actually exploring. For some reason I feel like that would just be an epic ending...

Re: Ending Predictions

A ship arrives in Greenland from Norway commanded by Thorfinn Karlsefni (ON: Þorfinnr karlsefni), a man of means. He falls in love with Gudrid and they marry. Karlsefni is encouraged by his wife and other people to lead an expedition to Vinland. He agrees to go and hires a crew of 60 men and 5 women. The expedition arrives in Leif's and Thorvald's old camp and stays there for the winter in good conditions.

The next summer a group of Skraelings come visiting, carrying skins for trade. The Skraelings want weapons in return but Karlsefni forbids his men to trade weapons. Instead he offers the Skraelings dairy products and the trade is successful.

Near the beginning of their second winter the Skraelings come again to trade. This time one of Karlsefni's men kills a Skraeling as he reaches for Norse weapons. The Skraelings run off. Karlsefni fears the natives will return, hostile and in larger numbers. He forms a plan for the coming battle. The Skraelings do come again and the Norsemen manage to fight them off. Karlsefni stays there for the remainder of the winter and returns to Greenland next spring. During their stay in Vinland, Karlsefni and Gudrid had the son Snorri.
